In World War I, all of these technologies were useful in many ways. This also could have caused war because soldiers may have not used the technology fairly. In my opinion, I think poison gases should have been banned since that forces the enemy to wear masks which does not seem fair to me because they can see out of it easily. I think the technology used back then was overused and not limited which is why so many battles broke out.

Not every innovation to come out of the war was a weapon. Something did have to be used to soak up all the blood. Cellucotton was first developed during the war to be used as bandages, being more absorbent, cheaper and more plentiful than surgical cotton. It wasn’t long before a few nurses discovered that cellucotton could also be used as a great disposable sanitary napkin, and in 1920 Kotex brought out its first commercial pad, freeing women everywhere from the gross reusable rag.

Chemical warfare first appeared when the Germans decided to do a surprise attack and used poison gas in 1915. At first, gas was just released from large cylinders and carried by wind into the nearby enemy lines. But as the war progressed, phosgene and other gases were loaded into artillery shells and shot into enemy trenches. German soldiers liked to use the gases a lot since they realized enemy soldiers fighting in gas masks don't fight as well. By 1918, all sides were frequently using poison gases.

Less than fifteen years after the Wright brothers flew at Kitty Hawk, those new-fangled flying contraptions called airplanes were being used in WW1, along with balloons and airships. The initial plane builds were primitive, but soon became necessary. Soon both sides were racing to design mono and biplane fighters that could hold heavy bombs and machine guns while maintaining mobility. By mid-1915, the foot soldiers were already getting some entertainment by watching dogfights in the skies, and air superiority became a significant factor in success in the second half of the war.

The Allies began developing these armoured ‘landships’ in 1915, but the first tanks didn’t make their way into battle until the Somme offensive the following year. So named due to their resemblance to water tanks, and they were first used in force on September 16 during the Battle of Flers-Courcelette and proved to be unmanageable death traps more proficient at killing their own occupants than the enemy. But the tanks had potential. By July 1918 The Tank Corps was established, accumulating almost 30,000 members by the end of the war.

Before WWI, the most popular automatic weapon was the Gatling gun. It resembled a cannon and even weighed almost the same. British had created a gun called the Vickers gun. It was so big that it required a six-man team to operate but gained a reputation for absolute reliability. America then invented the Lewis gun. It was the less trustworthy offspring of the Vickers gun. While most of the war’s deaths were caused by heavy artillery, the power of the machine gun made it an effective addition to weapons on both sides.
